Some quick hits to optimize in your games today that are very quick mental notes and don’t need a ton of tinkering to get used too:

1. On your counters, fade left. Extending your opponents arm gets the ball out cleaner and less likely to catch a hold call. 

2. “Mouse trapping” over the ball only gives you ownership of airspace. If your opponent is proficient in connecting bottom rail to the ball (plunge or rake variation) you run the risk of your pressure being used against you. If you are going full top down, be sure to utilize your left arm as well. For the same reason it’s easier to bench press with two arms rather than one. Pushing ball stop to ball on your way down adds a second axis to your clamp making it not only stronger but more versatile should you run into issues on impact. #FOArmy
